Disney’s Cinderella tops the UK box office chart

April 1, 2015 by Gary Collinson

UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 27th March to Sunday 29th March 2015…

Disney’s Cinderella topped the UK box office in its opening weekend here in the UK, continuing the studio’s string of successes with its live-action adaptations of its animated back catalogue. The film banked £3,803,799, which is down from last year’s £6.6 million debut of Maleficent, although that included previews of £2.8 million.

Four other newcomers managed to make an impact in the top ten, with The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water pulling in £2,262,498 to take third ahead of the Will Ferrell / Kevin Hart comedy Get Hard, which opened in fourth with £1,438,389. Fantasy Seventh Son earned £411,576 to place – yup – seventh, with Oscar-nominated Wild Tales sneaking into the chart in ninth place with £183,423.

Number one this time last year: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
